(Closed) Beyond frustrated with my DIY card box!

the problem is I am a bit of a perfectionist, so I got my boxes from the dollar store and planned to cover them with white fabric. Well you can see the design on the boxes through the fabric, and I was terrible at the project and the fabric would not lay flat and tight which bothered me.

So i thought about wrapping paper, which was easier to do but it is not as classy as I had hoped. PLEASE can someone tell me the tricks to making a really nice looking box? I even think i am going to downgrade to just one tier. Any help would be awsome!

@quin24: Would I just cut each piece of card stock to fit? I amm pretty handy with paper, I used to be huge into scrapbooking…I just thought that the seams might look funny lol maybe i should just try that and not be quite a perfectionist

@melisslp: Problem is most of the DIY things are to save money….and pretty boxes can get expensive!

@kjo: if you can see the pattern through the fabric, try wrapping the boxes with white craft paper first. you can buy a roll of it very inexpensively. make sure that you wrap if tightly as if wrapping a christmas present. the fabric will fit better on the boxes by doing this.

Mine were plain paper mache boxes, cardboard colored. I used paint.. and painted several coats. I think it turned out nice. The middle box was painted, then I glued a scrapbook paper on it.. it’s hard to see in the picture, but it has “love” words all over it.
